BEING WEIRD ISN'T ENOUGH not sure why i like this pin, but i like it.

this film takes place on the cusp between the 80s and the 90s, but i loved that these kids drove these 60s/70s(?) cars, i think to signify that they were low income and couldn't afford modern cars? but i love the atmosphere in this shot.

not the greatest screencap, but i adored everything janie (lala sloatman) wore. the cat-eye glasses, the oversized pink pearl earrings, the ponytail scarf. even though i related to nora's artsy side, i wanted to be janie.

mark (christian slater) is like two different people. at home, he wears cool retro bowling shirts embroidered with the name "dick" and sasses his parents, but at school he wears bland clothing (like he wants to blend into the background) and acts all shy.

i also just really loved mimi kennedy as mark's mom, marla, using a teacup to ash her cigarette into, i just thought it was so posh!

again, loving janie's dangly statement earrings, and the colour combo with her floral bolero (?) and sweet pink dress. i didn't love nora's (samantha mathis) outfit as much, but i was intrigued by the piece she wears over her dress. it ties at the back of her neck, and i think again on her lower back, so it's like a... halter vest? the turtle necklace is pretty dope, and though you can't see it in this shot, she is also wearing purple and white striped tights.

paige's (cheryl pollak) bedroom is a dream! the floral wallpaper and the white bed are so lovely, but the seafoam green radio really makes the colour scheme pop.

man i wish i had a teacher this cool! ellen greene as jan emerson (do they call her miss emerson in the movie? i can't remember), wears the coolest outfits, and she is introduced in this amazing mustard suit accessorized with a turquoise bolo tie! the look is amazing, but it also alerts us that this film takes place in arizona.

paige, doing her WASP thing in an oversized sweater over a blouse, with a string of pearls. it's the necklace that does it for me.

i mostly just wanted to see how many celebrities i could identify in this shot: keanu reeves, johnny depp, george michael, kirk cameron, corey haim, richard grieco... (stole this image from imdb as it was much clearer than my screenshot)

i forgot that plaid wallpaper was a thing and i think it's due for a comeback. particularly loving the plaid (shirt) on plaid (wallpaper) in this scene, so cozy, like a cabin!

so many things to love in this scene: number one, the heart curtains; number two, the kitten sweatshirt (the kittens look like they might be puffy and i can feel it in my mind); number three the "homework causes brain damage" sign on the wall--classic! number four, the clear lamp filled with gumballs? and the cow hanging from it! number five and six, the blue radio and the clear phone! i want one!

did you notice that the tissue box in the highschool staff room is the same as the tissue box in the depressed student's room? do you think it was the same box?

nora's room reminded me of my own room in highschool-- walls plastered with images, and plenty of candles. i think nora might have been one of the prototypes for the manic pixie dreamgirl.

Believe It Or Not I Care

mazz's (billy morrisette) denim and leather look is good.

an example of one of mark's drab shirts, but also nora's completely adorable velvet blouse with a peter pan collar! also, i'm learning that the next time i wear a collared shirt, i need to add a long statement necklace.

so this scene is near the end of the film, and i loved mark's shirt here. i also realized that it's more of a cooler, bolder look than he has previously worn to school, so i think it's supposed to symbolize mark coming out of his shell and revealing more of his true self at school/in public. look at me, i get things.

finally, loving this floral blouse and braided leather suspender on miss emerson. i would probably wear this.

BONUS here's a picture of drew barrymore at "an event" for pump up the volume (according to imdb), i'm assuming it's the premiere, just looking cool and badass. i need that jacket.

another bonus: this adorable promo photo of christian & samantha <3

anyways, most of these pics are my own screenshots, but you should check out higher resolution images on imdb. i couldn't find any articles about the wardrobe in this film, but i did find this 30th anniversary article that was interesting.

Ultimate Rabbit Audio Commentary on 'Pump Up The Volume'

Okay everyone, The Ultimate Rabbit is doing something new here, at least for him. I am doing my first ever audio commentary, and it is for the 1990 film, “Pump Up The Volume.” Written and directed by Allan Moyle, it stars Christian Slater as Mark Hunter, a high school student who has been uprooted from his hometown in New York and now lives with his parents in Paradise Hills, Arizona. Depressed…

He could’ve had a whole house in Amityville. Full of furniture. According to this, all he wanted was one mirror. Everything else was up for auction. Why do you suppose that was?

365 Day Movie Challenge (2017) - #116: Pump Up the Volume (1990) - dir. Allan Moyle

First Heathers, now Pump Up the Volume: I’m going through some definite Christian Slater feelings at the moment. My only previous experience with a film directed by Allan Moyle is the comedy The Gun in Betty Lou’s Handbag (1992), which was Moyle’s follow-up to Pump Up the Volume. I remember enjoying Gun, but it can’t hold a candle to Moyle’s earlier achievement in the genre of teen dramedy.

Slater plays Mark Hunter, a teenager whose recent move to small-town Arizona from New York City has left him feeling isolated and pissed-off at his parents, his new teachers and principal, you name it. He vents his frustration by hosting a radio show from the depths of his parents’ basement, a program that he hosts under the name of “Happy Harry Hard-On,” or “Hard Harry” for short. Mark/Harry spins an eclectic selection of records, including Leonard Cohen (the show’s opening theme is “Everybody Knows”), Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Ice T, Pixies, Beastie Boys, Concrete Blonde and Ivan Neville (coincidentally, I heard another of his songs in a different film I watched this past week, Skin Deep). Mark also fights back against the corrupt nature of his high school’s bureaucracy, urging his listeners to rebel against the authority and find strength (albeit the confused, frustrated adolescent kind) in numbers. For good reason, Pump Up the Volume is remembered as one of Christian Slater’s strongest films and performances.

Pump’s supporting cast features Samantha Mathis as Mark’s love interest, Nora Diniro; Annie Ross as the principal of Hubert H. Humphrey High School, Loretta Creswood; Ellen Greene as Jan Emerson, the one teacher who cares about Mark and what happens to her students; Cheryl Pollak as Paige Woodward, a rich girl whose social status is in direct opposition with her state of mind; Lala Sloatman as Nora’s bespectacled friend, Janie; and Anthony Lucero as Malcolm Kaiser, a classmate of Mark’s who tunes into the radio show to discuss plans for suicide. The casting of these actors and the memorable dialogue in Allan Moyle’s screenplay make the characters feel real and identifiable, enriching their unified journey towards harmony and compassion in a weird, mixed-up, unfair world.
